Jay West 'Call The Boss' 

Lost My Dog - LMD028

Lost My Dog’s first release of 2010 is all about THE FUNK, and what better man to step up than Jay West, one of the finest purveyors of funk-laden grooves in the underground house arena. Argentinean Jay is a busy guy, with a constant worldwide tour schedule and a prolific release rate for his own labels Candy Music and Flavor, as well as on a string of worldwide imprints. Four more funktastic remixes are provided by Neighbour, Peckos, Junia Ovadose and Roland Nights.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2005 Jay West has gone on to release his trademark and hugely popular sound for leading labels in the deep house genre such as Drop Music, So Sound, Blockhead and Conya. Jay first worked with Lost My Dog back in 2006 and his ‘Carillon Jamz EP’, which also featured a remix from Greenskeepers, is still one of the label’s most sought after 12”’s. He is also involved in a production partnership with Christian Malloni as The Candy Dealers.

The enigmatic Neighbour (aka Canadian Matt Dauncey) is currently one of the most sought after producers around, both for his super-funked house sound and his more eclectic projects. The “Neighbour sound” has become a well used phrase and is testament to his unique approach. Recent successes have appeared on Kolour Recordings, Super HiFi, Alphabet Music and his own Home Breakin. Neighbour is equally well known for his show stealing DJ sets, which feature live synths, electric guitar and Matt’s inimitable stage presence (some people say that dance music isn't as fun as it used to be; then again, some people haven't seen a grown man in a unitard shoot lazers out of his guitar far into the night sky). Such flamboyant performances have seen him play at the Shambhala, Soundwave, Bass Coast Project and Astral Harvest festivals.

By now Peckos will be well known to followers of Lost My Dog. The young Belgian producer released two EPs and a remix for the label in 2009, the highlights being a 5/5 ‘Essential Release’ review from DMC Update, charting in German dance mag DeBug and receiving a chart placing from house legend Tony Humphries which led ‘Sensual Strawberry Soda’ to take off on download store Traxsource.

Highlights on Junia Ovadose’s impressive CV include music for Greenskeepers’ Igloo and G-Swing imprints and DJ Pierre’s Strictly Rhythm sub-label DJP. DJ wise he has performed regularly in New York, all over Europe and at some of the UK’s most respected parties such as Back To Basics, Hard Times and Le Bloc. His music has been aired on Radio 1 by Pete Tong and on other leading UK dance stations Kiss FM and Galaxy FM. His ’10-45 EP’ for Lost My Dog in the autumn is still causing damage so we’re delighted to welcome Junia back.

Roland Nights is a new guise for Danny Stott, another producer who worked closely with LMD in 2009. The future is looking very bright for the Burnley-based beat-maker with two outings on Urbantorque scheduled for early 2010, including a remix of Tom Middleton.
